The investigation concerns whether the Tufco directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Tufco shareholders will receive $6.07 per share. However, the Price to EBITDA, EBIT, Revenue, and Book Value multiples are below the averages of comparable transactions, and the deal offer price of $6.07 per share, is below the Company's 52-week high of $6.99 per share.
